Oh, the shame...

For someone who's worked in the online industry for so long, I've obviously taken my sweet time about setting up a blog. I guess I've always been inclined to make sure the bandwagon is well and truly rolling before leaping on it.

Here I am at last, waiting to to join the 60-zillion other people who also share their thoughts and wisdom through their blogs. A collective consciousness, I've heard more than one 'futurist' put it. I must admit I remain to be convinced, but I have picked up some useful stuff from blogs - perhaps this whole phenomenon is along the lines of the million monkeys with their million typewriters... eventually producing Shakespeare.

Or something.

But the real reason I've started blogging has more pragmatic origins - I've been shamed into it. I spoke at ReMIX earlier in the year, and my participation was noted in the host's blog, along with the other speakers. I was the only one whose name wasn't hyperlinked to a blog.

When that bandwagon is bearing down on you, I guess you either leap on it or get run down.
